Me too. I've always defended Legolas, movie and book alike. I think some people (us males especially) tend to be jealous of the guy the girls go crazy over. I'm not jealous over him though, it's not Legolas' fault! But seriously, people who say he is "girly" obviously never read the books, because Elves in general are...well...more...graceful. People just twist things around that they don't understand. I too think Bloom did an amazing job at Legolas.
As for his lines...fine, one or two were a bit corny. But in the books, the characters are ALWAYS stating the obvious. It just doesn't sound bad because it isn't on a huge movie screen in a live version. That's just the way it is.
I agree with the overdone scenes though. The oliphant take over...way too much. I could deal with the slide down Helm's Deep, but the oliphant was ridiculous. Fun to watch though.
Anyway, there's my two cents.
